Phillies Fans Get A Glimpse At The Calm Before Game 1
The World Series begins tomorrow.
The Houston Astros are back in the big dance for the fourth time since 2017 and will play host to the red-hot Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 tomorrow night.
Today, the Phillies arrived at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
The two teams met in Houston for the final series of the regular season, a series in which the Phillies clinched their Wild Card berth.
Phillies insider John Clark got a video of the Phillies doing a workout on the field at Minute Maid Park and gave a fun little synopsis of the upcoming series in the caption.

Excitement In The Air
The excitement is brewing.
The Phillies haven’t been here since 2009.
In the case of the Astros, this is their fourth pennant in the last six years.
They made it to the World Series last year, only to fall to the Atlanta Braves.
But this year, they come into the series undefeated in the postseason.
The Phillies have also only lost twice.
So, we have two teams that are red-hot and ready to do some damage in the 118th Fall Classic.
The Phillies are obviously the underdog here, but they’ve beaten some tough teams along the way.
They took out the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Wild Card Series and barely had to break a sweat to eliminate the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres.
Both teams are playing their very best baseball at just the right time.
The fun is just getting started.
Buckle up, baseball fans.
